EMG 40TW
Inside EMG's 45TW are two distinct tonal options - a single coil and a humbucker with a noiseless preamp. The single-coil mode is a JCS pickup, built with ceramic and steel magnets for a rich, warm tone.
The humbucker mode is apopular CS (ceramic steel) dual-coil for a big, aggressive sound with a pronounced mid-range. A push/pull volume (or tone) pot allows to change from the rich clarity of a J pickup sound to the fatness of the CS humbucker.
When using two of TW Pickups in the same instrument - it is not recommended to use EMGs BT or BQ systems. Each pickup requires a push/pull pot for switching from single coil to humbucker, so the balance control included with the system can't be installed.
Should the be a need for a balance control - switching single/dual coil outputs with a DPDT toggle switch(es) is to be considered.
This model uses an extended housing of 4 inches (102 mm). For 5-string basses.
